Default Slot 350z Front A Arms for more - camber

I have a question regarding adjustable a arms. I have cusco front camber arms right now and I'm at -3.8 camber and wanted somewhere around -4.8 for a better contact patch when sideways.

My theory is that on the cusco a arm, one of the limiting factors is the ball joint adjustable plate since it can only go so far back but if I flip the adjust. plate, it moves it farther inwards, thus more - camber.

Next limiting factor is the A arm itself as it only has so much room where the ball joint can slot back and forth. If i shave the inside of the A arm bracket more for - camber will it work and be safe? I dont see why it wouldn't work but thought I'd post here and see what other people say and maybe some info on another option.
Flame me lol or help, I'd appreciate it, thanks.

Heck of a first post.. and i'd probably put your fire retardant suit on about now.....



by looking at the picture I've attached it looks like that may work.. but idk if the holes will be in the right place once you rotate the ball joint around. and then if you have to drill holes to accommodate the same number of bolts holding the ball joint in place.. then in my opinion it'll be weaker either way

Kinetix Arms have a bit of fat that we can trim of to gain a bit more...

and to be completely honest I doubt adding more camber is going to help add traction in any form

Ive always lurked on this forum jus never made an account haha. but i wouldnt have to drill new holes as the A arm bracket is already slotted so it wouldnt be an issue.

and ive already been running the cusco A arms for awhile now since they were easier on my wallet, but i thought spl arms only go to like -4 camber?
